My ultimate running playlist – songs to get you moving
Inspired by Matt over at No Meat Athlete, I thought I would post a recent running mix I created. I have also used this as my “kick in the pants” mix when I need motivation at work, and it is sure to be used on upcoming climbing trips for road music. The current playlist is nearly two hours and twenty minutes long – enough to get me through a half marathon, and then some. I wish I had time to go through and provide iTunes links to each of the songs, but alas, I don’t have time right now. Perhaps I will go back in and add them later.
The songs highlighted in red are ones that never fail to get me moving faster. Now, if only I had a way to immediately jump to one of those songs when I feel like I’m lagging

Now if only I can find time to get a lot of my other music imported into my iTunes library I can have an even BETTER mix.
For all my climbing friends, be sure to check back next week for a trip-report on Arkansas ice climbing. A small group of us from the Texas Mountaineers are headed to Arkansas where the temperatures have been well bellow freezing for a solid week or more in hopes of finding some iced over water falls to climb. We think we know of a couple locations. Either way, I will provide a trip report – ice or no ice.
Have fun, that sounds awesome!
Nice… I have my go-to mix, but will check out some of these songs and perhaps integrate into my play list.
Hope you are well.
